He missed a couple of future paint bubbles, apart from that it is fine, I hope

Here's some more details on when Aston first started fitting the name plates to their engines.

I might order a few of these for engraving.

"Robert Louis Stephenson"?

"Barry White"?

"Kylie Minogue"?

Talking about german names? Take this: Michael Kramer ;-). Granted it's a Rapide...

Sometime I wonder if Stevie Winder, Ray Charles or Anne Frank should have been on the list

Before you sell it you should order one of the other plaques and have it fitted. As soon as a prospective buyer sees that they will be off.

Actually we're safe, the V12 Vantage driven by Tiff on 5th Gear was Mr Simon Ward too.

Barry Griffin did my V12V. Only the best for my car!

Of course it's bit of a gimmick but it's a nod to a once great Aston tradition so I like it.

Barry Griffin did my V8V (2007).

I'll have to check the V12V but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Barry.

Just checked: Barry Griffin also did my V12V. Good work, that man.

So who exactly is Stevie Winder?

[Grant3]

There is a difference between the original "engine built by" and the new cars final inspection plates, but Barry Griffin did my last two - thanks Barry

Ok, so Stevie Wonder - blind musician. Ray Charles - blind musician. Anne Frank - Jewish diarist murdered by the Nazis?

Did I miss something?

May be thinking of Stevie "Window" Winder. Best before he went electric.
